Broncos RE Elvis Dumervil has requested his release after the sides got "no closer" to a resolution in their contract impasse on Monday."We're at an impasse," Dumervil's agent confirmed. "(Elvis) loves the Broncos. ... But if we can't reach common ground and you know as an organization that you're going to release him, then we'd like for them to release him by (Tuesday) and not wait another four days." The "another four days" is in reference to Dumervil's $12 million salary becoming fully guaranteed on Saturday. The Broncos are insisting on a pay-cut, while Dumervil is only willing to restructure. He's likely played his final down in Denver.Source: Denver Post Mar 11 - 7:40 PM

Could you imagine Cam on the left side and Elvis on the right side? Wow!!! Doubt it happens though....

The man had over 50 tackles, 11.0 sacks, and 6.0 forced fumbles this last year. He's a difference maker in the pass rush. He'd make an immediate impact and pairing him up with Wake would create the same kind of mismatches that the Broncos benefited from all season long. If the Broncos cut him I'd hope that Ireland makes a serious attempt to get him. He's a great fit in my opinion. Imagine our front four being Wake, Soliai, Starks, and Dumervil! That's the kind of defensive front that could give Brady nightmares for the next few seasons.

The man is set to make around $30M over the next three years. $12M in 2013, $10M in 2014, and $8M in 2015 roughly. I think those are numbers we can definitely work around with our current cap situation. I see no reason why the Dolphins couldn't give him the same $30M over three years but do it in a team friendly way that keeps his cap number well under $10M a season.

Rich, what do you think? You're CAP friendly contract generator around here.

His contract is very cap prohibitive, because even though the Broncos would eat the remaining amortized bonus, his base salaries are huge. In a 3 year, 30 million restructure, there isn't a lot of wiggle room to spread the cap hit out. In all likelihood, he is going to be at least a $10 million cap hit.

I also have concerns about his size, at 5'11", do you have any information on how he holds up against the run? Maybe someone can check PFF.

His run defense wouldn't be an issue for the type rotation we could run imo.The type rotation that the Giants have had while pounding Brady.

So we're going to pay $10-$12 million in cap space for a situational pass rusher? Is Dumervil going to be OK with this?

You make a good point Rich, if we make a move to get him, we're going to take a huge cap hit, one that could limit our ability to sign any other big players. But what if he were cut by the Broncos? Wouldn't we be able to work something else out with the guy, something that perhaps keeps him making that $30M, but something that is team friendly and spreads the deal out over four years instead of three?
